You could even use this method to top-up an existing Virgin phone for cheaper than buying the £20 credit. Sell on the unlocked Nokia 1100 for, say £15 and the SIM for £3 and you've got £20 credit for £2.

Shouldn't that be for £5.99 not £2?

Purchase price £23.99 minus £15 minus £3 = £5.99. Still cheap, I know, but just checking I've understood this correctly as maths is not a strong subject for me

On the sums given you would be correct.

Call/contact/whatever centres through and through - worse still now they're often operated by an outside company, often not in UK!

(This is not the case with Virgin, who have their own centres in the UK - at present.)

The virgin site has been slow and timing out for the last 2 days. It also went squiffy when I ordered my 8 that is why 3 got bought between nos 6 and 8.

If found that their site doesn't like Firefox and IE worked better - very odd.

looks like it still works.

stub - YOU ARE A STAR

Was going to take advantage of the original offer without your master plan, but I tried it and IT WORKS..

What's more, using GreasyPalm, you can get 3.5% cashback

So, my deal was -
Siemens A60 @ £23.99
Includes £5 on sim and extra £20 vouher = £25 credit
84p in cashback
So the £25 worth of call credit will really cost £23.15 and I effectively get the phone for FREE

Cheers to the OP and to stub451

I just got the same deal.
Many thanks Stub and OP. Pity it's not easy to unlock, but hey, it's free

Thanks greytroot for the original post. Got a Nokia 1100 for £23.99. Keep as spare phone, but same battery as other phone, Nokia 6600, so maybe a spare battery when airtime used.

Hi,

I've placed an order for the Virgin Samsung mobile and this page advertising accessories (including a battery charger) came up as I was going through checkout. Just to be sure, can someone please confirm that the mobile package WILL include a battery charger & hands-free set and that I don't actually need to buy one separately?? Thanks!!

Lychee, which Samsung was it? I think they all come with those bits. E.g. http://www.virginmobile.com/mobile/cms/view-page?page=SAM-STD-X450-1 says:

SAMSUNG X450

Includes a joining pack with SIM, a Samsung handsfree headset, battery, charger and free delivery. We'll do our best to deliver to your door within 24 hours.

I have bought a few phones using this now and it really is a great deal!

I would just like to point out that the sim cards may actually be worth quite a bit!

I got 2 with the numbers:
07**33333*3
07**3333 321

And today got: 07**3333*99

These are called gold numbers, and are worth more as people like to buy them for businesses or just personal use!

The first 2 are already on ebay and one recieved an offer of £20 withing 10 hours (on a 10 day listing) although I am confident I will earn more than this.

It's all about luck - but it might be worth checking to see whether you have a gold number!
